10. #66 Ford Performance Chip Ganassi Racing Ford GT

9. Pastor Maldonado, Lotus F1 E23

We see this angle come up a few times a year (Charlotte's yellow armco in NASCAR comes to mind) and it's a very efficient way to get "creative". Bonus points for giving a sense of place by choosing this spot (with signage).

This one is in the running for top photo of the year, no doubt. Everything is just right. The car's placement, the mud, the added element of having lights and the pop of flash in the top right corner. This is art.
